Marbella
Playground of the rich and home of movie stars, rock musicians, and dispossessed royal families, Marbella continues to rise on Europe's social ladder. Dip into any Spanish gossip magazine and chances are the glittering parties that fill its pages are set here. Much of this action takes place on the fringes—grand hotels and luxury restaurants line the waterfront for 20 km (12 miles) on each side of the town center.
